Ghost Western saddles: American style

Features of the Ghost Western Line

The Ghost Western stands out for technical and aesthetic elements designed to provide security without adding unnecessary weight to the saddle:

• Broad skirts and Western design: instead of classic panels, the Ghost Western utilizes wide skirts that wrap around the back to offer protection and superior stability;
• Optional Horn: traditionally equipped with a horn, the saddle can also be ordered without one; this flexibility allows you to choose between a pure Western aesthetic and a more neutral profile.
• Compatibility with all Ghost bases: you can mount the Ghost Western on a Flex, Semi-Flex, or Standard base to adjust the degree of dorsal support according to the horse and activity;
• Choice of 3 arch sizes: Narrow, Standard, or Wide, to adapt to different wither morphologies;
• Ergonomic, close-contact, and stable seat: despite its Western styling, it retains the narrow Ghost twist, offering natural balance and more direct contact than traditional American saddles;
• Ideal use: trail riding, trekking, and equestrian tourism. For high-level technical arena work, the Ghost Classic line is more suitable.

• Various thigh block (banana) options: Ghost Western models can also be crafted with Quevis and Aussie-style thigh blocks.

Why Choose a Ghost Western

Opt for a Ghost Western riding saddle if you are looking for:

• a modular and customizable saddle, with the freedom to configure the base, horn, materials, and finishes to your needs;
• a stable and reassuring seat for trail riding, trekking, or equestrian tourism, even on variable terrain or during long hours in the saddle;
• a versatile solution for those riding multiple horses with different back shapes, thanks to the adaptability of the Ghost base;
• the perfect compromise between rider comfort and equine welfare, featuring low weight, excellent pressure distribution, and spinal freedom.

Important Considerations for Choosing a Western Saddle

As with the Ghost Aussie saddles, the Western line:

• is not intended for intensive endurance, jumping, or technical sport disciplines;
• requires an appropriate pad and correct panel adjustmentto ensure comfort and dorsal protection, especially on horses with sensitive withers;
